Python 3.6 is the first version to accept bytes to the json.loads(),
which causes the following error on older Python 3 versions:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/scylla/scylla-housekeeping", line 175, in <module>

versions = get_json_from_url(version_url + params)

return json.loads(data)

s.__class__.__name__))
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'
To support those older Python versions, convert the bytes read to utf8
strings before calling the json.loads().
